Interesting.Software is always bigger and more complicated than you would think. Software for automobiles covers dozens of control modules that interact with each other over communication links. The total lines of code can be staggering.
EVs do not need engine or transmission controllers, but they do need a motor controller, battery controller, DC-DC converter, and on-board charger. That is two more than an ICE! Hybrids are even more complicated, with 100 controllers in a Chevy Volt, and over one billion lines of code, IIRC.

It seems like, from a user perspective then, Tesla gets the hard stuff right and slips on the noncritical parts like the media player.
